Let’s start with the second part of your question? How do you make someone understand that invading another country is not a good thing?

Sorry, I don’t.

I saw some documentary that suggested that they used to chip straight through fossilized feathers and skin to get to the bones because they didn’t realise what they were.

Firefighter here. Brush and gently vacuum your smoke detector. Insects are attracted to the LED and can set off the alarm. They may be very small. Dust can also set it off.

Gold!

I believe this is a thing in Quebec.

In Quebec, the Civil Code requires parents to assign their child only one surname (either a single or compound surname) derived from their respective surnames. Compound surnames may not have more than two parts, with or without hyphens. Thus, a couple named Joseph BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY and Marie DION-ROY could give their children the surnames:

• BOUCHARD
• TREMBLAY
• DION
• ROY
• BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY
• DION-ROY
• BOUCHARD-DION
• BOUCHARD-ROY, and so on.

In Quebec, the law provides that spouses retain their respective birth names when they are married.

FreeCAD. I’m not sure why more people aren’t using tbh.

This. Has changed my life.

Reminds me of Mathcad and Calca

Your eyes are a part of your brain.

Doesn’t seem to match with my understanding. Got any references for that?

Showing your age now!

Australian companies being shit at cyber security again.

The bible apparently.

Look up biblical cosmology on Wikipedia.

I notice that the IDF doesn’t actually say that they didn’t hit the hospital, they just say that Hamas is ‘responsible’ for it. That could mean that they are saying that it’s Hamas’s fault for launching rockets from close to the hospital and making it look like a launch site. IDK, everyone lies in situations like this.

THIS! When those in power start dehumanizing others, you know there’s killing coming. Hotel Rwanda is a great history lesson on this.

It feels like a great time for everyone to take a massive chill pill.

Kudos for your wholesome response.

I remember seeing a talk by Bruce Pascoe where he described how the published journals of the early white explorers had been censored to remove references to the extensive agriculture, grain silos and aquaculture except where they painted them in a negative light.

He also told off one journal entry where a cake given by a First Nation person was described as the softest, sweetest cake he had ever eaten. He made the point that this was a comment coming from an Englishman!

I have to admit that while I’m old enough to remember VIM from days of yore, I never found the love that everyone had/has for it. Is it really as good as modern IDE’s?

This seems like the digital equivalent of burning books. Rather than controlling what people can read, shouldn’t we be doing more about the underlying reasons that mental health has taken a dive, such as the cost of living, climate change, the cost of further education and, you know, giving people a reason to feel optimistic about the future?
